Product Details
Enslaved families in the Shetland Islands face a bleak future. Then, in 1874, deliverance comes. They are offered free passage to New Zealand. A Promised Land flowing with milk and honey, but joy turns to dismay. Starvation, exhaustion, and sickness stalk their every move. Worst of all, they have tumbled back into bondage. Karamea is on the brink of collapse. Can desperation, grit, and faith pull the settlement back from disaster?

A True Story

By piecing together history, documents, and family stories, Wendy Hamilton paints a vivid picture of the Johnson family navigating a significant event in British and New Zealand history.
